Sporting Clube de Goa (Portuguese pronunciation: [sɨˈpɔɾtĩ ˈkluβɨ ðɨ ˈɡo.ɐ]), otherwise referred to as Sporting CG or simply Sporting Goa, is an Indian professional football club based in Panaji, Goa. The club competes in the I-League 2, the third tier of the Indian football league system and the Goa Football League. They previously competed in the I-League, then the top domestic flight.
The club was built on the lines of Portuguese club Sporting CP and adopted a similar club crest. Sporting Clube de Goa won its first Goa Football League in 2006. Since then it has clinched the title in 2014, 2016, 2018, 2020 and 2021.
Sporting Goa is the only club to have won the Super Cup without winning the league or Federation Cup. The club pulled out of 2016–17 I-League, citing AIFF bias against some clubs.
